HARTFORD — Police have warrants for the arrest of two 24-year-olds who they said repeatedly shot a man in a city street as four children watched.

The shooting happened a year ago, on April 21, 2014. The victim survived.

Detectives said they have warrants for the arrest of Tyvonne Gooden and Trajuan Washington, both of Hartford, and who are already in jail on other charges.

The two will be charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, first-degree assault, criminal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a permit and first-degree reckless endangerment, police said.

The judge who signed the warrants set each man's bail at $2.5 million. Both men are in jail on other charges.

The shooting happened about 7:30 p.m. on April 21, 2014. Patrol officers and police from the department's Shooting Task Force responded to 91 Huntington St. for a report of a person shot. They found an unoccupied Jeep nearby, in the intersection of Collins and Sumner streets. It was heavily damaged by gunfire, police said.
